trouble with the help box

yo dudes,

i have a form with a helpbox in the controlbox. normally when you click the
helpbox the cursor changes to a question mark and when you click somerthing,
a help tooltip comes up. how do i make that tooltip? i know how to make
standard tooltips but how do i make it appear when the helpbox is clicked?

i do hope you get what i mean!

if what i want is impossible, is there a way to make something else happen
when you click the help button e.g. open another form?

You could have a boolean member

private bool m_HelpIconClick ed = false;

and you can change the value in the event raised when the help button is
clicked.
Then the code for displaying your tool tips can check

if(m_HelpIconCl icked)
// do display stuff

Of all words of tongue and pen, the saddest are: "It might have been"

Hi! First of all, I hope my problem is not too loosely tied to the "standard C++" that is the topic of this group. I have some code that exhibits a strange behaviour: on one computer, where I compile with g++-3.2 it compiles and works fine, on another computer, whether I compile with g++-3.0 or g++-2.95 (unfortunately 3.2 is not available) it crashes with a segmentation violation on runtime.

Hi everyone, I'm running into a problem with my ASP.Net application. I've just created a new aspx page which uses some new components of mine that inherit from ServicedComponent and are designed to run under COM+. This page works fine, unless I get fancy and hit my browser's refresh button quickly, as a test. Then, what I see happen is the transactions pile up and my ASP.Net "current requests" do the same. This happens even with two...

In Windows 11 and 10, there is no way to turn off the Windows Update option using the Control Panel or Settings app; it automatically checks for updates and installs any it finds, whether you like it or not. For most users, this new feature is actually very convenient. If you want to control the update process,...
